Try, Try, Try Again - Visitor's Poem

by Tasneem Qaiser Alvi
(Lahore, Pakistan)

I try to abandon all evil deeds, but get into a farce of sins,
All my goodness is compelled to enrich the dirty dust bins.

Whenever I try, there is something that forces me to stop,
I gather courage, yet my efforts fail to yield any good crop.

Though my intentions are good yet success seems far away,
The truth ‘‘Try,Try,Try Again!� saves me from going astray.

I wish to do something great, that will enable me to earn,
A high repute that will light my life and give it a new turn.

I hate to despair even when the signs of victory are zero,
Patience and contentment will help, to make me a hero.
